Last week, we kicked off the Forbidden Root botanic beer cocktail series at Smallbar Division. Using Sublime Ginger, a ginger and key lime gruit-like beer as the base, Craig Hiljus riffed on a Pimm's Cup recipe, using gin, a house borage syrup, and a borage flower garnish that he grew in his own backyard, which provides a slight cucumber quality. It was delicious. And it's still available until the beer runs dry.
Learn more info about the botanic beer cocktail series, which takes us to five of GBH's favorite bars in Chicago, including Trenchermen tonight!
